I'm with you on that one.
I also assumed that the the title had been editorialized/was click-bait until I read the pdf and the incident was filed and issued by the AAIB as a 'Serious Incident'.
Which is understandable given that the flight was 1,244 kg overweight at take off due to a programming error that assumed a 'Miss' = 35 kg / passenger instead of the correct average weight of an adult female of 69 kg.
True that the actual incident was a lot different than the title suggested (and I assumed) but taking off a ton heavier than what the manifest stated is a ‘bit of a problem’ to use the English art of understatement.
